| 3,4 | Summon a chaotic creature from the underworld. The creature will attack the caster immediately and then seek to cause as much destruction as possible. If intelligent (or weak) enough, it will use guile and treachery to accomplish these goals, possibly attempting to find a new follower or followers for Enegala. | ||
| 5 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 4 monster. | ||
| 6 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 3 monster. | ||
| 7 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 2 monster. | ||
| 1 | 8 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 1 monster. | |
| 1 | 2 | 9 | The spell strikes the caster or an ally of his, instead of the intended target. If the spell was intentionally cast on the caster or a friend, it will hit a random target within the spell's range. |
| 2 | 3 | 10 | The spell creates a magical backlash that causes 1d6 Subdual Damage per (magic points spent / 2). |
| 3 | 4 | 11 | The spell goes off in 1d12 hours. |
| 4 | 5 | 12 | The spell has a contrary effect, healing instead of damaging, harmless cold instead of fire, etc. |
| 6 | 13 | The spell causes some sort of apropos yet innocuous event to occur or items to appear. Example: A summoning might bring a stuffed version of the animal; a healing spell might create a pile of bandages. | |
| 14 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 5 monster. | ||
| 15 | The spell creates a number of zombies or skeletons equal to the magic points spent x 1d3, reduce the number created by one for each mile distant the body is located. The undead will mindlessly attack any living things that they encounter. | ||
| 16 | The spellcaster has weakened the binding forces around him. His Puissance for the next 4d10 days is reduced by 2d6 + (magic points spent / 2). The spellcaster is aware of a drop, but not of it's severity! Puissance cannot be reduced below zero. Result 10 also applies. | ||
| 17 | The spell triggers the creation of a Class 6 monster. | ||
| 18 | The spellcaster's Puissance is reduced by 3d6 + (magic points spent); the change lasts 4d10 weeks, after which the Puissance "heals" back to normal at a rate of 1 point per day. Puissance cannot be reduced below zero. In addition, the spellcaster's spellcasting will be at a -2 penalty for 2d10 days. Result 10 also applies. | ||
Monsters are created by the "spilling" of magical energies into the ecosystem. Whenever a magical critical failure calls for the creation of a monster of a certain class, these energies have spilled into the ecosystem and a "monster" will be formed from an existing animal or plant. The choice of exactly which animal or plant is left to the GM's discretion, based on what would be most common in that area and using the general pattern of higher classes to larger creatures. The plant or animal involved need not be within sight of the casting place or even closer than several miles (generally no more than 1 mile per class).
Though most people do not know the difference, monsters are different from creatures created by chaos. Monsters are the result of the residual creation energy left over from the Creator's self-destruction. Chaotic creatures are the direct result of the warped creation energies of Enegala seeping onto the surface world and contaminating a willing or unwilling victim.
